Software
...
to

Install
...
on
...
VM
...
In
...
creating
...
the
...
initial
...
VM
...
for
...
piloting,
...
we
...
want
...
to
...
identify
...
which
...
software
...
should
...
be
...
installed.
...
There
...
is
...
a
...
base
...
set
...
of
...
software
...
enumerated
...
here
...
that
...
would
...
be
...
a
...
minimum
...
we
...
would
...
consider.
...
There
...
is
...
additional
...
software,
...
particularly
...
Academic
...
packages
...
that
...
support
...
the
...
GIRs
...
that
...
will
...
be
...
explored
...
as
...
to
...
whether
...
they
...
should
...
be
...
included.
...
Those
...
are
...
enumerated
...
in
...
the
...
next
...
section.
...
The
...
final
...
deliverables
...
will
...
include
...
a
...
script
...
for
...
installing
...
the
...
software
...
and
...
configuring
...
the
...
Windows
...
VM
...
so
...
it
...
can
...
be
...
reused
...
for
...
future
...
versions
...
and
...
by
...
DLCs
...
doing
...
local
...
enhancements.

There are licensing concerns to address before including each package.
The table in the wiki has been replaced by the Excel spreadsheet as we started collecting more details about each package and its consideration. She the latest version of the SW Stack for the details.
